WIRN 2026
The 34th Italian Workshop on Neural Networks (WIRN 2026) will be held at the SIREN Headquarters in the picturesque setting of Vietri sul Mare , Salerno, Italy, from June 10 to June 12, 2026 .
Organized by the Italian Society for Neural Networks (SIREN) since 1989, WIRN has established itself as a premier annual event for the neural network community, attracting researchers and practitioners from across the globe.
With a tradition spanning over three decades, the workshop provides a vibrant and informal forum for discussing the latest advances in Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence, and Machine Learning . It aims to bridge the gap between academic research and industrial applications, fostering the exchange of innovative ideas and promoting international collaborations in a stimulating environment.
Prospective authors are invited to contribute with original, not published elsewhere, high quality papers in the topic areas listed below . Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee and can be accepted for oral or poster presentation. Accepted contributions will be published in a Springer printed volume indexed by SCOPUS.
CALL FOR PAPERS: Prospective authors are invited to contribute with original, not published elsewhere, high quality papers in the topic areas listed below. Papers will be reviewed by the Program Committee and can be accepted for oral or poster presentation. Accepted contributions will be published in a Springer printed volume indexed by SCOPUS.
Authors are limited to one paper per registration, not exceeding 13-15 pages’ limit. Springer Paper format is on https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines. Submission is through Easy Chair.
Selected WIRN 26 papers will be invited to submit an extended version to selected Journal Special Issues.
WORKSHOPS: Held inside WIRN are dedicated WORKSHOPS devoted to enhancing the theoretical and practical aspects of AI. Proposers must send their proposals, to the WIRN 2025 organizing committee: Anna Esposito, Gennaro Cordasco, Marcos Faundez-Zanuy, Francesco Carlo Morabito, Eros Pasero.
BEST PhD THESIS “Caianiello’s AWARD”: SIREN is sponsoring the best PhD Thesis published during 2023-2025 with a WIRN 2025 free registration (including social dinner, 1st and 2nd position). PhD graduated must submit the thesis to the Award Committee Anna Esposito, Francesco Carlo Morabito, Eros Pasero (iiass.annaesp@tin.it, morabito@unirc.it, eros.pasero@polito.it). See (LINK TBA).
